early hour the church was densely
crowded and thousands were turned
away.
Rev. Dr. Minnigerode opened the eXer-
cises by reading the first hymn, which
was led By a large choir Rev \. b.
Evans then read passages from the Scrip
ture. and Rev DR.. George Cooper offered
o fervent prayer.
Mr. Richard Irby, the secretary. then
submitted his report The receipts for
the year have been 1851 80 an increase
over the preceding year 1856 vol
umcs have been distributed, and the col
u0rteurs have done much good work.
Dr Minnegerode then introduced Dr.
Talmage who announced that his subject
would De Tie Bible. and made most
powerful and eloquent addres, of am
hour and ten minutes 10 which nothing
Jess than a full report would DO Justice
The occasion was one OF the deepest n-
terest. and will long De remembered I'm

Will ''Swing" Into Dodge City.
A Preliminary survey to be Made at
Once.

M. A. Lowe, President of the Rock
Island Railroad, was in the city on Fri
day, on his return from Meade county.
He was interviewed by some of our cit
liens, and also by W. c. Shinn, President
of the Dodge City & Montezuma Rail
road, on behalf of Dodge City. Mr..
Shinn proposed that Dodge City secure
the right of way and a profile of the pro-
posed road from Dodge City to point
where it would intersect the main line of
the Rock Island, and submit the same to
the Board of Directors of the Rock Island
Mr. Lowe could not say positively that
this proposition would be accepted, as it
was matter the directors must deter
mine, but he said the project was FEAST
BILE one, and no doubt would be favor
ably entertained.
A meeting of the citizens of Dodge
City was held Saturday night, and money
was subscribed to secure a profile and
right of way from this point to a point in
the southeast part of the county.
From sources we deem reliable, it is
stated that the Rock Island folks have
been deceived somewhat about the loca
ton of the line running through the
southwest portion of Kansas. 1t would
appear that the scheme was greatly in
the interest of town site spectators. We
should Judge from indications that the
Rock Island people consider Swing
into Dodge City, and thence Southwest,
feasible project, and one that is likely
to be accepted.
At the railroad meeting Saturday the
discussion of local railroads made con-
siderable animation, and developed a
diversity of opinion on the subject. A
proposition was finally made to vote
bonds to construct roads in Ford county.
A committee was appointed to solicit
funds to secure survey for the Rock
Island Railroad to Dodge City. The
object is to secure profile of the route
and to obtain the right of way. This
action of our citizens will hasten the
building of the contemplated railroad
from the southeast.

SANTA FE RAILROAD SUR
VEYORS.

A corps of Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad surveyors were camped on
the south side of the river last week,
awaiting orders. 1t is stated that they
were to survey line for railroad from
Dodge City to Trinidad, Colo. The OBJ
ject of the survey is doubtless to check
mate some local railroad schemes. 1t is
stated also that more outlets are desired
to the coal fields of Colorado. The sur
veyors commenced line of survey, Mon
day morning, just west of the Touring
mill. The B. & NJ railroad surveyors
made survey over the same line, as far
as MOntezuma, some weeks ago.

THE IRRIGATlNG CANAL
Breaks, and the Water Flows
Like a Raging Torrent.
A Chapter Of Accidents.

On Friday afternoon we boarded the
passenger train for the west, the heavy
wind having impeded the progress of the
train before reaching Dodge City, and
delaying its progress west still more as it
moved toward the setting sun. Within
three or four miles of Cimarron a halt
was made, owing to break in the irri-
eating canal, the water from the canal
flowing over the river bottom and sub
merging the railroad track A freight
train encountered the disaster before us,
and after delay Of about an hour both
trains were enabled to proceed against
the heavy wind. The break in the canal
occurred where the canal crosses large
draw and where on the north side Of
the bank is formed a large reservoir. 1t
is supposed under the high wind the
pressure of the water was too great for
the crumbling earth's resistance Notice
was given of the impending break, but
the warning was not needed in time
The water rushed over the bottoms, but
did no particular damage
The delayed freight train encountered
more accidents at Cimarron The draw
head and front end of box car were
pulled out, the engine became disabled,
and was sent to Coolidge for repairs
while the way car and train men returned
to Dodge City. This i'll fated freight
train made two attempts to get out of
Dodge City, in the afternoon, before it
succeeded, but only to meet with the diff
ficulty we have described.

they were the tracks of the TINES job
